Hi Vicky, I just recently learned about Obsidian and decided to take the plunge. After jumping into it, I immediately got overwhelmed/lost. Your videos have been AMAZING for distilling/clarifying/simplifying the whole thing. I've tried other sources, but you have a real skill for offering the critical bits in a very clear and concise manner that both helps me: learn what I wanted to; and also saves me time compared to other resources. Thanks for your work!

Thank you, Vicky, for putting together this quick start guide for Obsidian, as well as your video explaining the Zettlekasten method. This is an invaluable resource. I wrote a doctoral dissertation about 25 years ago and it was all index cards, file folders and a poor system for linking the ideas between them. Had I had a system like this it would have sped up completion time by a few years. I've been unmotivated to share my thinking over the last decade as the internet and social media has exploded. But, the simplicity of this system has inspired me to start thinking and writing again.

I feel less like a noob now! this is an amazing tutorial which covers the fundamental basics of Obsidian - some things have changed though such as names of plugins (bookmarks instead of starred) and the check box function is ctrl + L for windows not ctrl + enter + enter. But I managed to figure out the subtle differences once I knew the function existed. Linking tabs is slightly different too, on windows at least, you need to open both notes side by side by dragging them(can do this with the same note twice) and right click one of the tabs and select "link with tab" which will then allow you to highlight the other note to synchronise scrolling.

Watch dozens of videos and have been working with Obsidian for 2 months now applying what I learned. For some reason I can't get out of the folders thinking. I down loaded all my Kindle books read highlights into Obsidian which is my understanding of fleeting notes. I now realize after watch your previous video, it is not. They are literature notes. Now I want to write my ideas and thoughts but do I do this in literature notes or permanent notes. Especially confused if the highlighted reading notes are already in literature notes. What you are showing here is one idea per note. Ive been creating writing ideas and notes in my paper filing system for years on nonfiction writing as well as teaching nonfiction writing. Most of these are fleeting notes turned literature notes on paper. I started with Obsidian with plans I can get these paper notes into O and then turn them into deliveryable content. Been trying to work on this but have placed all the notes under the subject. I.e., outling has it's folder, 1st draft another, self-publishing another. I'm just so confused and have been blocked on how to proceed next for weeks. Do I need to take one idea on outlining and add it to a single note and then another note double bracketed to a micro subject like outing so I can create my outline eBook? So hard to explain, my brain fees fried. I took a week off to see if I could relax. I know everyone has their system. I am a spacial thinker I believe (your description in previous video). Maybe note. Oh wow. I've been praying daily for help and just plugging forward.
